Frequently asked questions about payroll outsourcing

How does payroll outsourcing work?

When you outsource payroll for your organization, professionally trained experts will partner with you to handle part of the payroll process on your behalf.

After you’ve set up your payroll, these experts function as an extension of your business and take care of your payroll processing, including the calculation of taxes and deductions, meeting government remittance deadlines, preparing your payroll for year-end, and addressing pay-related employee inquiries.

From the employer’s end, you’ll need to ensure that accurate employee information and hours worked are submitted. Prior to processing, you’ll also have an opportunity to review your payroll expense for the pay period and see reports that give you insight and visibility into your labor spend.

Should I outsource payroll to a vendor?

There are various factors for organizations to consider when deciding whether or not to outsource payroll. Here are a few considerations:

  • Whether or not you are prepared to address the complexities of changing legal requirements – especially if you operate in multiple regions
  • Whether or not staffing payroll in-house is the best use of your available resources
  • The time and cost associated with filling talent gaps when payroll professionals leave
  • The time and cost associated with providing ongoing training to support compliance

What should I look for in an outsourcing vendor?

The goal of outsourcing payroll is to ensure your people are paid accurately, and on time, while reducing the amount of effort and resources required of your organization. That being said, it’s also important to ensure you have full visibility into your payroll.

When you’re evaluating payroll vendors, here are some things to consider and ask:

  • How much experience does this vendor have managing payroll for organizations of similar size and complexity to yours?
  • How can this vendor help you standardize processes and drive efficiency?
  • How does the vendor handle quality control?
  • How does the vendor help maintain security, privacy, and compliance?
  • What technology does the vendor use and how will it integrate with your existing systems?
  • Will the vendor provide you with a single point of contact, ideally a customer relationship manager who understands your business?

Organizations should look for a payroll provider that combines deep functional expertise with innovative technology to provide complete visibility into your payroll data and reporting. That provider should also share best practices and guidance tailored to your needs and goals.
